Ugh.

Woke up Thursday morning with warning signs of an impending migraine. The Excedrin is keeping it from going full-bore, but it's still enough that bright lights are not a good thing. This sucks, because we're having one of the nicest Novembers anyone can remember, with loads of sun and temps in the 60's. And I can't really go out and enjoy it. :P

This is the third month in four (or 4th in 5 now?) that I've had a migraine. Normally get 1-2 bad ones in a year, and the occasional milder one.

All I can think is that it's the stress.

As a contrast: since my watch told me that the sun was going to set at 16:30 today, I just spent half an hour sitting under my 10,000 lux lamp, simulating a summer afternoon. I'm now feeling energized and happy.

Ooooh!

I want one of those... thinking of asking for one for Christmas.

Cheapest place I found with effective (8-10,000 lux) lamps was Northern Light Technologies (http://www.northernlight-tech.com/) in Canada.



Still expensive, mind you.

Yeah. A day here and there is one thing (flukes), but over a week like this, at this time of year? (Bad year for deer hunting, that's for sure.)


Today was unbelieveable- in the low 70's, bright and clear, a bit windy. I'm okay with today being nice- some friends of Jessica's were getting married today. 4pm wedding at Christ Chapel, over at Gustavus. Must have been just beautiful- the sun would have been coming in the stained glass at just the right angle for the whole place to look like the inside of a rainbow.
Wonder if it'll stay clear through the am, for the meteor shower?
